Brock has 'only' won 3 championships because he went overseas and potentially costs himself some chances at championships. Kepp in mind also that the mentality in the '70 & 80's and even early '90's was all about Bathurst. That's what everyone strived for. The ATCC back then was like the home and away rounds in a footy season. |

And people just shook their heads, bit their lips and wondered who would be second". RIP Peter Brock. 1945-2006 |

Hey, I aint arguing with anybody. I respect the opinion of any genuine motorsport lover (even those who like Holdens). Suffice to say that we have been blessed with some great drivers over the years and some great competition and some sensational machinery to boot....long may it continue.
Amen |
